Because you're down there obviously Utah 84 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,039 taking on Nebraska. Morgan Scalley is officially the head coach 85 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,520 Kyle Winntingham now Michigan had stepped away, would have been 86 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,120 the festivities? Take us through the vibes down there in 87 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:15,080 Las Vegas. 88 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:19,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, yesterday went down to Fremont Street and it was 89 00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:21,759 actually pretty cool experience because they did the PEP rally. 90 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,400 There had both of the Utah and Nebraska bands on 91 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,879 Fremont Street and they were playing the fight songs. They 92 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,879 had the fans out there doing their cheers and chanting. 93 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,479 It was a great time. There's a huge screen that 94 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:40,159 spans the full course of Fremont Street that had the 95 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,400 Utah and Nebraska lobos up there, and then they ended 96 00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:46,719 up playing some videos of both teams throughout the entire 97 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,039 season to kind of recap their season, how they got 98 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,240 here to this point. A lot of people out there 99 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,039 just kind of partying it up. So the PEP rally 100 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,960 was really cool. Earlier in the week, from what I understand, 101 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,479 they took the players to do a lot of different things, 102 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,280 to do some good things in the community, to help 103 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,080 out the Las Vegas community locally, but also to go 104 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:10,639 and just be kids, because these are still college kids, 105 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:12,599 right They still want to hang out with their friends 106 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,920 and do everything that there is to do here in Vegas. 107 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:20,639 So a lot of cool festivities, a lot of cool 108 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,639 things going on for fans throughout the city. In terms 109 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,800 of the tailgating today, it said a bunch of different 110 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,800 casinos and different things too, So there's a lot of 111 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,199 cool opportunities for fans to come down here and enjoy 112 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,480 the Vegas Bowl. Then, of course it's on New Year's Eve, 113 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,040 so you've got fireworks later on tonight on the strip, 114 00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:41,040 and apparently they shut down Las Vegas Boulevard. The entire 115 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,160 sho can drive on it, and there's so many people 116 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,839 that they pack it from one side of it all 117 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:49,279 the way to the other side. And every casino has 118 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,600 fireworks lined up on top of the roofs, so when 119 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,120 the ball drops, all those fireworks go off, and it's 120 00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:58,639 pretty I've been told it's pretty crazy here. So we'll 121 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,920 see how that one goes later on tonight. I'll let 122 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:01,199 you know. 123 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: You definitely have to let me know. Yeah, please be 124 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,439 safe out there. I'm from a big city. It tasts 125 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,120 to Chicago. You block off streets and you just walk. 126 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,160 So that sounds fun, But Bryce, I care most importantly 127 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,319 about your safety and that you can make it and 128 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,040 cover that Utah Nebraska game. That's the biggest thing that 129 00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,199 I care about. But also, you know, enjoy enjoy yourself. 130 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,439 I tell everybody, Look, it's it's New Year's Eve. Whether 131 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,199 you partake in you know, you know, the festivities are 132 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:28,560 not adult beverage. Not when everybody to enjoy this day. 133 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,680 My mom had asked me, like, what do you want 134 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,360 for your birthday? Said, the biggest thing you can give 135 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,360 me for my birthday is you celebrate the new year, 136 00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:35,959 write and then you'd be safe. That's what I care 137 00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,839 about the most, because God has given us another day 138 00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:41,560 to enjoy, and He's given you that moment. But take 139 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,519 us through Morgan Scalley, he addressed the media. He's what 140 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,519 I think it was, Devin Dan Pierre. He was up 141 00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:51,399 on the pulpit as well. Highlight in Nebraska. Kyle Whittingham 142 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,279 is not the coach. How did all of that come about? 143 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 2: Bryce? 144 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,199 Speaker 1: It seems like we had Askedcott Mitchell, but it seems 145 00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:00,639 like that Kyle had to step away, you know, and 146 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,560 he stepped down. But I also feel like, you know, 147 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,800 from what I heard, there might have been some internal 148 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,639 pressure because he was supposed to retire, right Bryce, and 149 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,040 now he's a head coach of a premier Big ten 150 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,519 program and now he's looking at to take BYU and 151 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,480 you toss staff with him. 152 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, first of all, if you go back to 153 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,079 the timing of all of it, it's just kind of strange. 154 00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:21,839 Timing right off the top, right, you look at the 155 00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:24,759 way that all went down. You had a huge announcement 156 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,759 on a Tuesday about the influx of five hundred million 157 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,199 dollars coming in via the producate equity conversation, and then 158 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,519 a couple of days later, Friday after noon at about 159 00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:41,879 three or four pm, maybe even five pm, that Kyle 160 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,639 Whittingham news came out there he was stepping away from 161 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:47,040 the program, that he'd no longer be the coach, and 162 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,279 he's going to coach in his final bowl game for 163 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:53,199 the team down here in Las Vegas. Normally, when you 164 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,279 have the greatest head coach in your school's tenure, it's 165 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,160 not a Friday news dump thing that happens, right, So 166 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,959 that was kind of curious timing right after five announcement 167 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,720 a five hundred million dollars was coming into program, and 168 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,399 you would think, Okay, Kyle Whitingham probably knew the private 169 00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,160 equity thing long before his decision. But it is strange 170 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,920 that now when the resources come, when Kyle Whittingham could 171 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:21,480 build a legitimate roster and winning program even further and 172 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,720 be competitive on a national level with five hundred million 173 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,720 dollars of private equity, money, he's going to step away, 174 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,800 So that was my number one kind of question. Well, 175 00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,720 later on throughout the week, we hear him speak the 176 00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:36,199 following week and he says it felt like it was 177 00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:39,319 his time to step away. He didn't want to be 178 00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:43,000 the guy that overstays his welcome. Well, you read between 179 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,959 the lines a little bit there. It doesn't sound like 180 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,439 he necessarily felt wanted or somebody there in you know, 181 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,040 wanted him to step away. In terms of that, I 182 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,800 will say now looking at it, it does seem like 183 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,160 the blame should lie on both Kyle Whittingham and the 184 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:06,639 athletic department at the University of Utah because Kyle Whittingham 185 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,399 didn't really handle it the best of ways that he 186 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,600 could have. When he was asked about retiring, he could 187 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,399 have answered that and said, no, I'm still good. We're 188 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:19,879 pushing forward, instead of saying, actually, I am looking forward to, 189 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,720 you know, maybe stepping away. He was asked about playing 190 00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:25,000 Miami down here in Vegas. That's a scheduled game for 191 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,959 twenty twenty seven, and he said, I don't think I'm 192 00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:30,439 going to be around for that. So he could have 193 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,960 answered questions in his tenure as the head coach in 194 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,879 a better way, not saying that he was going to 195 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,440 retire and not coach football anymore, which led the athletic 196 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,200 department to believe they needed to put Morgan Scalley in 197 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,159 that spot of the head coach in waiting spot to 198 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,919 create some stability. And I think that's kind of where 199 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:50,679 it all started at. So I don't know where you, 200 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,639 you know, put the blame solely on. I think it 201 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,720 kind of lies on Kyle Whittingham and athletic department as 202 00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:03,240 well as far as Kyle Whittingham stepping away. Yeah, I 203 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,159 would say that it was just a curious way that 204 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,639 everything has been handled, and it even came as a 205 00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:12,960 little bit of a surprise to Morgan. Scaley is what 206 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,080 it sounded like. Yesterday at the press conference, Lander Barton 207 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,440 brought it up. Morgan brought it up saying that the 208 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,879 timing of all of this was what surprised them. They 209 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:23,559 knew eventually was gonna happen, but the way it happened 210 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,200 and the timing that had happened, we're all very strange. 211 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,440 With Kyle Whittingham stepping away and then of course picking 212 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,480 up that Michigan job. 213 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, there has to be accounta billion all parts, whether 214 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440 that be those in the athletic department, the athletic director, 215 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,279 Mark Haling himself, whether that is Morgan Scalley the head 216 00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:41,519 coach and winning, and Kyle Whittingham. I like that perspective. 217 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,559 You can't just point fingers at everybody else. I think 218 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,639 Kyle could have done things differently. The timing is wird. 219 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 2: Bryce. 220 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: I remember when that announcement got made in our show. 221 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,720 We had the breaking news, but it didn't seem like retiring. 222 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:55,919 I'm like, oh, stepping away, And I'm like, I feel 223 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,360 like he's got a lot, you know, left to coach. 224 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:01,120 And I'd even heard from one source that you know, 225 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,720 after that BA you lost from last year, not this year, 226 00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,480 was that he still had a lot left in the tank. 227 00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:10,960 So the timing is definitely interesting. But I mean, I 228 00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:13,159 think at the end of the day, both parties are 229 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,519 individually are happy. Morgan Scalley is now the head coach, 230 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,480 which is well deserving. 231 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: He's been waiting. I think he'll do a phenomenal job. 232 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: He will have to build this program up, there will 233 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,159 be some growing pains, and then Kyle's at Michigan. 234 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: But let's move to. 235 00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:28,039 Speaker 1: That next thing now and now the guy who's who 236 00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,559 stepped away from Utah has said, you know what, I 237 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,440 have a robust network. I'm trying to take Jay Hill, 238 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:35,519 and you know, I'm gonna take other personnel that I 239 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,559 built at Utah. And I know Scaley's probably like, what 240 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,519 are you doing? And I know Kalanie's like, Colinie understands 241 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,000 it because it's been around a little bit more. But 242 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:44,320 I know Klinie's probably saying the right things, but behind 243 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,360 the scenes, he's probably like, he just can't take Jay 244 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,799 Hill for me because Bo's fighting to keep from what 245 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,759 I've heard recently in the last day or two, your 246 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:53,600 thoughts on the entire matter, and does Jay Hill leave 247 00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:57,080 BYU to go? And you know, does Jason is Jason 248 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,559 Becker to be pulled from Utah? Those are two premier coaches. 249 00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:02,679 Jason has been highlighted this year offensively like they were 250 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,080 averaging I think it what it was like forty points 251 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,519 a game or thirty one points a game. 252 00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 2: I'm'm somewhere in that ballpark. 253 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,799 Speaker 1: And then Jay Hill has a top twenty defense in 254 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,799 what college football the last two seasons. He's the one 255 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,720 of the best defensive cordators in college football right. 256 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I think that obviously those reports right now. 257 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,519 Matt Zennetz of CBS said that Michigan was going after 258 00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:27,799 j Hill, and that was a couple of days ago. 259 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,120 So a lot of people are sitting here going, well, 260 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,960 what in the world is going on? Because if Michigan 261 00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:36,600 has money, right, they have enough resources if they want 262 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,000 someone that could go get and they could get that 263 00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:41,639 contract finalized. BYU's done with their bowl game, their season's over. 264 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,200 So what's going on? Two things come to mind. Either 265 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,600 BYU is doing their best to sit down Jay Hill 266 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,919 and pitch him on keeping him in provo, and I 267 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,120 believe truly that that is happening. They are pitching him, 268 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:59,399 they are offering what they can offer him. Number two. 269 00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:02,720 The other thing is that they're waiting for today when 270 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:06,000 the Utah Bowl game finishes up and they can announce 271 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,360 Jason Beck is the offensive coordinator and j Hill is 272 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,919 the defensive coordinator and do that together. Those are things 273 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,000 that I think are happening. You could see that later 274 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,759 on once this bowl game finishes up here on a 275 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:23,240 couple of hours where they announce both of those two 276 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,679 coaches at the same time, or the other thing that's 277 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,120 happening here is that BYU might be pitching a pretty 278 00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,519 good package for j Hill to stick around, And it 279 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,639 just depends on what Jay Hill values and where he's 280 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,720 at right now in his career path. Does he want 281 00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,440 to go with Kyle to Michigan where in five years 282 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,799 maybe he's the next man up, maybe he becomes the 283 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,320 head coach of Michigan. Once Kyle steps away. He puts 284 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:50,639 himself in a good spot if he decides to walk 285 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,960 away from that, And if Jason Beck decides to walk away, 286 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,879 Scalley's got to go find himself an offensive coordinator. And 287 00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:01,519 it's going to get really into if that happens, because 288 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,320 when those dominoes start the fall, anything could happen in 289 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,440 the coaching carousel, and BUYU could be looking for more 290 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,200 coaches than what they initially had thought if certain people 291 00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:14,840 come up in those conversations. So we'll keep an eye 292 00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:15,480 on that as well. 293 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: Defin need to keep an eye. You bring it up. 294 00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: Jay Hill's not the only coach if he went with 295 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,720 Kyle that would go. Jay's gonna try to take his guys. 296 00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,480 You know, there's been a rumblings I've heard of would 297 00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:26,960 he take General Guildford his pat he the guy he 298 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,320 promoted in the offseason the defensive pass game coordinator. Off 299 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,720 of her rumblings that you know, Scalli and a Rod 300 00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:36,360 have a good relationship, you know, like hey, that that 301 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,759 lets you that it might lead you to believe, like, okay, 302 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,000 is that a done deal? Like you said, Bryce is 303 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000 Jason and j already it's a done deal in Michigan, 304 00:13:44,039 --> 00:13:45,879 they're waiting, And I think that's a that's a great point. 305 00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:48,200 I never thought about this game today is the last 306 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,919 domino with both of those. So after today's game, Tomorrow, 307 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,639 New Year's Day, and with the transferport on Friday, we're 308 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:56,519 gonna know here in the next what twenty four to 309 00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,200 forty eight hours, what the decision will be. But I 310 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,639 know BYU fan and are looking forward to Bryce of 311 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,279 that Leonardo DiCaprio mean from Jay, I don't know if 312 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,159 he's that type of guy. He might not be the 313 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,360 type of Aldskay, but they're looking at that. I'm not, 314 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,159 you know what leaving. I think that's what people are 315 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,639 looking for down here in Provo. But it might not 316 00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:17,480 be the case. Michigan might be clowning bau fans, Santa 317 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,639 and sand He's actually coming over here. You never know 318 00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:22,399 a lot to talk about. Let's get back to the 319 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,039 Utah Nebraska game. How do you have this one playing out? 320 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,039 Does Morgan Scalley get his first win as a head 321 00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:30,120 coach in a bowl game? 322 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,399 Speaker 2: New Year's Eve Bowl is a big time bowl game. 323 00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:33,480 I don't care what anybody says. 324 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: I think he does. I think they get it done 325 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,519 today against the Nebraska team. That's just it doesn't seem 326 00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:43,320 like they're as motivated. I was at the press conference 327 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,840 yesterday with Matt Ruhle, with a couple of Nebraska players, 328 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,399 and it seemed like the energy was a little bit 329 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,799 different from their side of things that it was from 330 00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:58,840 Morgan Scalley with Devin Dampierre and Lander Barton. Yeah, just 331 00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:01,440 a little bit of a different feeling from that team. 332 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,840 They've got the issues with the Riola family, Dylan Riola's 333 00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:08,799 brother deciding to decommit and move somewhere else, and then 334 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,039 of course the firing of multiple coaches on that staff. 335 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,200 It doesn't look it's a fourteen point line. It's fourteen 336 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,279 and a half in some places. Can Utah cover that maybe, 337 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,799 but they also should have covered against other bad teams 338 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,559 this year, like Kansas and Kansas State easily and they 339 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:30,279 failed to do so. Now, without Kyle Whittingham there and 340 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,679 a couple of opt outs along the offensive line, I 341 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,200 think Utah wins it. I think it's a little bit closer. 342 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,039 This morning on Bryce and Biaoucci, we made our picks, 343 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,240 and I picked Utah to win, win a closer game, 344 00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,039 and they'll win by a score to maybe by ten 345 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,399 so twenty like thirty one to twenty one. 346 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,159 Speaker 2: No, Bryce, I agree with you. 347 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: Fourteen and a half points is a lot, especially with 348 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,720 the changes of Utah to the top fifteen team. I 349 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,120 think Nebraska does cover the spread, but I'm picking Utah 350 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:00,360 to get to win in this game. I think all 351 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,799 the reasons you mentioned. I listened to the press conference 352 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200 and I just say, this doesn't seem like Matt Rule 353 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,960 wants to be there, but he doesn't want to be 354 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,960 like Notre Dame and not go to the bowl game. 355 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,879 But and that's the sucky part about college you know football, 356 00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:14,240 is you have Nebraskas who maybe aren't as motivated the 357 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,120 Notre Dames that opt out. And then I'll get your 358 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,000 thoughts on this. I don't know if you were watching, 359 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:19,240 but I was tuned in and then you have the 360 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:24,360 TCU USC game, phenomenal game that ending paying takes into 361 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:26,720 the ouse caps it off. Josh Houver in the portal, 362 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,879 I saw something online. Don't know if it's true or not. 363 00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:30,559 It could be from some of this making up stuff 364 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:33,120 that Indiana wants him with Fernando Mendoza leaving. 365 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,159 Speaker 2: I mean, look, that's college football. 366 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,919 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks go and they look for the pay raise they rightfully, 367 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,360 so your thoughts on that bowl game and just the 368 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,639 Big twelve US as the whole as a conference. The 369 00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:46,000 SEC is zero to four, Bryce, and the College Football 370 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,919 Playoff Committee told me the SEC is the best conference. 371 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,320 They told me that, Bryce, and I'm not seeing it. 372 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:53,879 I am not seeing it. Miami beat A and m 373 00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:56,559 in the bowl in the playoffs, I'm not saying that the. 374 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,399 Speaker 2: SEC right now is the best conference at the moment. 375 00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: Winning that bowl game back in twenty sixteen for TCU, well, 376 00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:06,200 a couple of years later, that quarterback that played for 377 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:09,319 TCU in twenty sixteen ended up getting in a bad 378 00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:12,599 hunting accident, had to get both of his legs cut off. 379 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,839 He's a double MPTE now. He was on the sidelines 380 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,519 last night. He was sitting there talking to Sears and 381 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,240 a part of everything, all of those festivities, and Sears 382 00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,920 came in and won that football game as his only 383 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,079 in a very similar fashion, come from behind. I don't know. 384 00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:33,039 Sometimes college football gives us great storylines, and that's one 385 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:35,920 of the greatest storylines I've ever heard of in terms 386 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,359 of what happened last night with that TCU win over USC. 387 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,759 In terms of how good the Big Twelve has been, 388 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,720 they've been phenomenal. And there's a chance that the Big 389 00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:49,599 Twelve could go undefeated in the postseason. And that would 390 00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:52,279 be huge if the Big Twelve could do that and 391 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,920 just proving that at least one conference in the country 392 00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,160 cares about postseason play and the rest of the bowl games, 393 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,079 and that would be the Big Twelve. And of course 394 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,559 the competitiveness of the Big Twelve and not as many 395 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,000 opt outs and the depth as well. It all goes 396 00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:09,599 into that conversation. It would be huge if they keep 397 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,640 this rolling and can win all the bowl games this postseason. 398 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you hope that they able to do that. 399 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:16,599 Speaker 1: Still a few more Big Twelve teams that have to 400 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480 play today, you hope that they're able to get it done. 401 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 2: That would just help those odds. 402 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: And look, if Arizona and Arizona State when they're bowl games, 403 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,079 doesn't that just add to BYU's pointed that they should 404 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,079 have been in the playoff surprise. I mean, look TCU 405 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,559 doing what they did, beating USC, you know, a USC 406 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,119 beating Order Day. Like, all of this is just coming 407 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,640 now into fruition that the playoff, the College Football Playoff 408 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,960 Committee is biased, which we already know. But they just 409 00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:48,559 wanted to git BYU for no reason. And that's why 410 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,119 you're also hoping that tomorrow that Texas Tech puts belt 411 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,079 to booty to Oregon so the national media can see, Okay, 412 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,319 Texas Tech is a legit national title contender because the 413 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,319 Big Twelve is better than people think. And I think 414 00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:01,880 people just don't like they don't like the brand of 415 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,359 certain teams because of history. They don't want to give 416 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,240 respect to where to do. They might want to give 417 00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:09,599 it to Utah, right because Kyle Whittingham has won won 418 00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,160 the Pack twelve twice and they want to being competitive 419 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,480 in the Rose Bowl. Buddy, you don't get that vibe 420 00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:16,240 from the rest of the schools because as I look 421 00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:19,039 at BYU as opponents that are winning now as the 422 00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:21,519 season is ending, there's no doubt in my mind that 423 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,200 BYU still should have been in the playoffs. 424 00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it does say a little bit about that. 425 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,039 You do have to take in the opt outs into account. Yeah, 426 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:32,599 who had what and where they were at full strength 427 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,519 and whatnot. But at the same time, both teams have 428 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:36,839 opt outs, right, So if your depth and if the 429 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,119 SEC is so much better than you know, and what 430 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,960 we've been told is that they are so much better 431 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,359 head and shoulders above the rest, it just means more 432 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,720 in the SEC. Their third strings then should be better 433 00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:51,279 than anything that TCU or Houston can put out there 434 00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:53,759 on the field. And LSU should have ran away with 435 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,519 that win against Houston even though their third string players 436 00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:59,319 are out there. But that's not the case. It's not 437 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,960 the case. And the fact of the matter is, with 438 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000 the transfer portal and NIL, we've never seen more parody 439 00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:07,839 in all of college football. And I think that's just 440 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,400 silly that the SEC in Big Ten continues to try 441 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,359 and make those cases. Here's what I do think is happening. 442 00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:15,599 I think the worst possible thing that could have happened 443 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,160 to BYU in Utah and the Big twelve was BYU 444 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,359 and Utah pulling just over two million viewers in that 445 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,759 Holy War rivalry game earlier this year. Obviously, they would 446 00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,160 never admit to it. A lot of people have this 447 00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,559 talking point. A lot of people believe it is a 448 00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:36,839 TV show they have to provide for their TV partners 449 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,119 and they want the viewers. So who brings the biggest viewerships? Well, 450 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,799 it's the biggest brands in all of college football. And 451 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,319 to be honest with you, personally, I don't have any 452 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:47,559 evidence that this is true or not. This is my 453 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,400 personal feeling. I personally feel like they kind of do 454 00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,160 look at these TV ratings and put into account who 455 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,079 gets the most views in college football, talk about it, 456 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,519 and maybe they favor some of those teams. That's my 457 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:04,440 personal feeling of how the College Football Committee operates. And 458 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,400 the fact that BYU and Utah pulled just barely over 459 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,240 two and a half two million viewers in that Holy 460 00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:14,720 WARLD rivalry game might have been the worst possible thing 461 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,319 that could have happened to the Big Twelve and those 462 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,319 two teams in terms of unless you went undefeated or 463 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,880 lost one game, you're probably not getting into the College 464 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,079 Football Playoff just because of that which is unfortunate and 465 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,279 that should never be the case in college football should 466 00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:32,880 be about what happens out on the field and not 467 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,759 other things that you really can't control. 468 00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:39,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, you really can't control that as well, but it's 469 00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:41,759 as the nature of that what it is. 470 00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:43,279 Speaker 2: But I like the way the Big twelve is headed. 471 00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: I would like what he's doing will get you out 472 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,880 of here on this bricelet's discuss some Bou basketball just 473 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,039 a little bit well in with this agy to Bonce 474 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:53,640 to how far can he carry this Bou basketball team. 475 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,440 He had the first thirty point triple double in Bou 476 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,400 basketball history last week on Monday. They take on Kansas 477 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,279 State on Saturday to open up conference play. 478 00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 3: Man, it's pretty crazy what that dude's been doing, isn't it. 479 00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:11,000 I think it's more so about everything that's around him 480 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000 in terms of just trying to help him out, especially 481 00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:17,119 in the first half of games. 482 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 2: Ron. 483 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: They got to start those games off a little bit better. 484 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,960 They can't dig themselves huge holes against elite talent like 485 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,400 they did against Yukon and expect to come back and win. 486 00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:28,960 So they came up a little bit short there. And 487 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,039 it's not just Yukon that they did that against. It's 488 00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:33,720 game after game that they come out a little bit 489 00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:36,680 flat and don't look great, and they didn't take Delaware 490 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,480 as serious as they possibly could have. It seemed like 491 00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:41,920 a couple of these other teams that they should blow 492 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,759 out from start to finish. They were kind of just 493 00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:46,279 toying around with them until the end when they would 494 00:22:46,279 --> 00:22:49,359 take off and blow them out the rest of the way. 495 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,759 But you can't start off that way if you're playing 496 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,119 big time teams like Yukon and some of these top 497 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,720 tier programs. Michigan looks phenomenal this year Perdue. Those are 498 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,960 those big teams you can't start out slow against and 499 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,079 expect to come back and be able to win. They 500 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:10,039 will go as far as AJ can take them, and 501 00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:13,000 I think that as this season progresses, he gets that 502 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,519 Big twelve experience. This very well could be an Elite 503 00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:19,519 eight Final four team, But when they get to that 504 00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:21,960 point and playing in the Elite eight or Final four, 505 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,119 they have to get off the better starts. They can't 506 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,559 get off the bad starts that we've seen that. They've 507 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:29,119 got to learn how to do that, and part of 508 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,880 that has been not sharing the basketball. This has gone 509 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,000 from a team that shared was one of the best 510 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,400 teams in the country a couple of years ago sharing 511 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,039 the basketball, one of the best assistant turnover ratios, and 512 00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:41,559 now it seems like there's a lot of one on 513 00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:45,039 one basketball being played, especially in that I think it 514 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:47,640 was the villainov well maybe not the Villanova against the 515 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,079 Yukon game is definitely in the first half. That's a 516 00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:52,559 good defensive team and they're making it hard to pass 517 00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,839 the ball. But you can't play a lot of one 518 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,319 on one basketball and expect to win against elite defenders 519 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,720 like Yukon. They've got to share the basketball a little 520 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:02,799 bit more and get better on that end, and then 521 00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:05,000 they're gonna pick it up and I think they'll be fine. 522 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,880 But the sky's the limit with with this roster and 523 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,279 this team. They just got to get it focused in 524 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:13,960 where they're playing their best basketball, and they play their 525 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,759 best basketball when they share the basketball. 526 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: Will you share the basketball? 527 00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:20,559 Speaker 1: You know, you know, sharing, just caring teamwork makes the dreamwork, 528 00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,440 as they say. But I definitely see that io want 529 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,799 on one a problem. But yeah, you get down early 530 00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:27,599 against maybe these one of these teams in the elite eights, 531 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,200 that's a sleeper. You get that far and if you 532 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,039 end up matched up with a duke or one of 533 00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:35,519 these other premier teams, they gonna take you out. They're 534 00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:37,279 gonna take you out, no doubt about it. So you 535 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:39,200 got to get it right, Bryce before we let you go. 536 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,880 What's the best way the listeners can support you and 537 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,440 JB Jordi, Bi A Nucci. 538 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 2: What you guys do and how you do it? 539 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, every single weekday, seven to ten am, right 540 00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:52,920 here on this Ferry radio station.
